We started the day making sushi and origami and then tried our hand at writing Haikus.
During the day we talked about all things Japanese, including sumo wrestlers. Mrs Andrew gave us a demonstration....

What an enjoyable day - and we only touched the tip of the iceberg; Japan is such an interesting place with such a rich culture.
Here is the display about Japan and 'Kensuke's Kingdom' you can see in the main corridor at school:
